The action for the day started with Sidhartha Babu, Deepak and Avani Lekhara, who participated in the R3 Mixed 10m Air Rifle event. It turned out to be a disappointing outing for all three Indians, as they failed to qualify for the finals. Suyash Jadhav, representing the nation in the 100m breaststroke final, suffered heartbreak as he was disqualified due to a rule violation. Pramod Bhagat and Palak Kohli, too, had a disappointing run on the badminton court in the mixed doubles event....

Kolkata, Jan 31 (PTI) India would rely heavily on in-form Prajnesh Gunneswaran and favourable home conditions to upset former champions Italy in their bid to qualify for the inaugural Davis Cup Group Finals when the two teams clash in the Qualifiers starting here from Friday. The rejigged Davis Cup enters a new era with 12 qualifiers across the globe on the road to Madrid Finals in November. Against a team which leads 4-1 on head-to-head record, India have returned to their favourite Calcutta South Club (CSC) grass courts after 16 years....

Maiden international goals from Nikhil Poojary (36th minute) and Manvir Singh (45th) helped India defeat Maldives and finish on top of Group B with six points. India play Pakistan in the semifinal on Wednesday. Nikhil could have scored the opener in the 11th minute itself but despite getting all the power behind his header off a Anirudh Thapa cross, it sailed over the Maldives crossbar. Nikhil and Lallianzuala Chhangte were constantly swapping positions on the wings and that stretched the rival defence....

After defeating Delhi Thursday, India Blue, put in to bat, were aided by some solid batting display to put on a huge total of 345/4 in 50 overs. In reply, India Red came close but were bowled out for 334 in 49.5 overs. After losing wicketkeeper batsman Naman Ojha (9) cheaply, opening batsman Akshath Reddy (84) and Manish Pandey (70) put on 143 runs for the second wicket to put the team in a formidable position....

It all started earlier this week, when the Brownback campaign got wind of a letter that Iowa Rev. Tim Rude, a prominent evangelical pastor and Huckabee supporter, sent to a few other church leaders in the state. In it, Rude talked up Huckabee for being a Southern Baptist and trashed Brownback for being a Catholic. “Frankly, as a recovering Catholic myself, that is all I need to know about his discernment compared to (Huckabee’s),” Rude wrote....

In the past month, extraordinary measures restricting everyday life have been instituted across the world. In many cases this has been by the best-intentioned leaders trying to get to grips with an unprecedented crisis and public support for them is generally very high. But regardless of where or by whom, all of these measures are problematic. Groups such as the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL) are already monitoring where emergency powers are in force and where they could be being misused....

Koestenbaum, who teaches English at Yale, calls himself “a neat, fussy homosexual: you know the type”-and an “opera queen.” “A love for opera,” he writes, “is a nostalgic emotion and gay people are imagined to be a uniquely and tragically nostalgic population-regressive, committed to dust and souvenirs.” In “The Queen’s Throat,” he adopts the tricky strategy of embracing such stereotypes, identifying with divas and reveling in their “canned” facial expressions representing put-on emotions....

The anime was meant to have its second installment come out later this year during the Fall season; however, those plans are not to be.

No wars? No news? No problem. We still have invasions today. Of media hordes, tracking Tiger Woods endorsements. We still have a military. Its primary purpose in the 1990s seems to be to serve as a theater of war between the sexes. Strategy is what gets executed in court and on TV. Espionage is the Globe supermarket tabloid setting up Frank Gifford at a New York hotel. The front is a Marv Albert press conference....

In the clip shared on YouTube, the president fumbles with the papers while showing himself data surrounding the pandemic. “Take a look at these charts,” Trump 1 says. “Numerous categories were lower than the world.” Trump 2 cuts in to offer an explanation for the testing in the United States. “You can test too much, you do know that?” Trump 1 insists. “New cases, new cases, new cases…the top one!...

United’s record signing has attracted criticism in recent months - finding himself out of the side on occasion - and he was the subject of much of the pre-derby talk, with City boss Pep Guardiola claiming he was offered the chance to sign the France international in January. But in Saturday’s clash at the Etihad Stadium, with City 2-0 up and ready to celebrate the Premier League title, Pogba delivered....

First being introduced in the fourth generation of the main series, having the ability to walk alongside one’s Pokemon on an adventure has been a fan favorite part of the franchise.

Along with this buddy system comes the addition of friendship levels between the player and their Pokemon....

WHO on Saturday declared monkeypox a “public health emergency of international concern” as it continues to spread worldwide with over 21,100 confirmed cases reported globally as of Thursday, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

As of June 30, the American Automobile Association reported that the average price for gas sat at nearly $4.857 per gallon across the nation, leading some members of Congress to blame the Biden administration’s “war on American energy” and restrictive policies for oil companies. But climate activists and progressives argue against the call to increase domestic production of oil, saying that doing so could undermine the president’s climate-focused agenda and calls for transition to cleaner energy....

Intel is one of the leading brands when it comes to processors. The Intel Core i9 and i7 are among the best processors of recent years, only challenged by the AMD Ryzen series. PC players, whether laptop or desktop enthusiasts, usually have to pick between an Intel and an AMD processor when they want to upgrade their computer to play the most recent games. The best processors cost hundreds of dollars but luckily, Cyber Monday is here to help players save money....

While Overwatch and Pokemon crossing over obviously has some potential, as skins like Trainer Tracer and Chimchar Winston would be no-brainers, it seems unlikely that such a team-up would ever happen. Overwatch fans have shared crossover ideas for years, such as a skin that sees Widowmaker combined with Marvel’s Spider-Gwen. With six years having gone by, and the only crossovers being with other Blizzard games like Diablo and Starcraft, fan art will likely remain the closest fans ever get to such concepts....
